What better way to welcome spring, the season of rebirth, than by adding new life to your home? If your roof is near the end of its life span or looking rough, it may be time for an upgrade. After all, your home isn't just where you live; it's also an investment you must continue to work into. Read on to see why new roofing is a perfect investment.

Home Value

What homeowner doesn't want a home that has risen in value? According to Forbes, replacing that old roof is one of the most profitable ways to invest in your home. With a new roof, you now have many more years without worrying about a new one, as long as you keep up with regular maintenance, inspections, and repairs. That looks good when it comes to appraisals or someone looking to buy.

Aesthetics

You want to feel pride when you look at your home from the inside out. A new roof, whether made from colorful asphalt shingles, stainless steel metal, or Mediterranean-style ceramic tiles, can add the beauty you need. Use roofing to add to a new theme or style. A new roof can also help your home meet upkeep obligations in an HOA.

Protection

Did you know a metal roof can withstand winds up to 140 miles an hour, according to the Metal Roofing Alliance? Other roofing types can also protect your home and family from weather and outside effects. If pests begin to nest in your gutters or climb from a nearby tree, they could eventually get into your roof. With new roofing, you'll have greater protection against snakes, birds, and rodents that want to take up shelter in your attic.

Durability

One of the advantages of new roofing is you can improve the material. For example, asphalt shingles are the most popular American roofing material, with a lifespan of about 30 years, according to Architectural Digest. However, according to Bob Vila, when you upgrade to metal or slate, you now have roofing for the last 40 to 70 years.

As you plan your 2024 upgrades, adding new roofing is one of the best choices. Your roof is a home feature that can last several decades with proper upkeep. It'll protect your home and enhance its beauty. Contact us at Under 1 Roof to learn about our roofing services, receive a free estimate, and schedule a project.
